All of these points is why I made a Blood elf. Especially Eversong woods and Heritage armor.
So even if the Void elves get Blonde hair, I will STILL have many blood elf characters. Especially with the new customization

Oh, I most certainly do think most Horde players don’t care that much about neither of those things considering that the zones are empty all year round on the vast majority of servers, the negative reviews on the jewelry that you can find all over these forums and the very rare chance of running into someone on the Hawkstrider mounts and heritage armor.
I do however think that concern trolling blue posters hype these things up to boost their own argument for why they should get to rip off Belfs even more than they have since it gives y’all cover to ask for hair colors and styles when you can point to these unimportant things that are still technically uniquely Blood Elven.

What was the actual reasoning for bringing them onto an own server?
Well, if you truly want to feel unique and separated from Alliance high/void elf characters, should we get proper high elf hair, all those 15 features, and more, are still available to you.
I read that three times, and didn’t understand what you were trying to say. Would you care to rephrase?
How generous of you to leave us with the scraps.
I think I’d rather take my money elsewhere or race change to Undead/Vulpera since the core race of 13 years will at that point just be an objectively inferior version of the newcomer.
I’m saying you and other blue posters are pushing these trivial differences to make people like myself feel better about the situation we’ll probably be in a year from now when in reality we don’t care about most of the things you’ve highlighted even one bit.
It’s actually eerily similar to Alliance players shilling for Calia now that I think about it.
So, if someone else get a similar toy to yours, yours is somehow worthless?
Yeah, with the bonus of having the original Void Aesthetic. Totally similar. 
Objectively inferior indeed.
To be fair, most of the high elf community wanted high elves as their own thing, separate from void elves. Now that that’s no longer plausible, we’re asking for high elf options to be properly available through the void elves.
What would you like to see added for blood elves?

To be fair the High elf community never asked to be mixed with Void elves.
And as a Void elf fan Myself we never asked to be mixed with High elves.
But Blizzard did this because it’s easier than making up a new allied race with its own story/ starter zone/ and heritage armor. So instead they went with the “natural void elves” direction, since we already have 2 racial leaders anyway and one of them is natural skinned .
At first I was confused, but now I don’t mind…
Also (Void elf aesethic) is pretty boring without A Black hair color for the females. The only thing that’s stopping me from using the Void skin is the lack of black hair. Wouldn’t be pure Edgy without black hair. (and as a edgy guy I would’ve loved that)

And with her original hair colour, which doesn’t change when her skin doesn’t.

No idea, they’re on the same server as Outland, so I guess Blizzard thought they would just build all the new BC zones on the same server. Kind of a shame, really.
I am confident they will make a pass on the allied races on later patches.
It would be insane not to. Some of them have a really short amount of customization options. Lightforged, Kul’tirans come to mind. They really need help. Honestly, lightforged should even be integrated on the Draenei and Sethrak or something added to the alliance cause of how indistinct they look from regular Draenei.
I would really like more hairstyles and hair colors for Void elves, but they are in much better shape.
LOL and how would you do that when all elven faction are at their throaths?
Belves and NB versus previous belves(velves) and Nelves. They’d sooner kill each other form anything.
what are you on about furry the nightborne get along with us just fine oh you mean those alliance “elves” …

If you promise to do that, I will hold your beer/coat whilst you do so…
No, I know about that, I was more saying that of the Void Elves who were created the way the player character Void Elf was, Umbric is their leader. He was the highest ranking one of their Cult who was created that way.
Alleria is different. She was created differently, she is -not- the same, (And yet at the same time -is- the same in that she is infused with Void Energies, same destination, different paths basically)
Ehhhh…Kinda. You’re right in that she earned her rank, unlike Sylvanas and Vereesa (one of whom got it by hereditary, the other just called herself a rank) and that was Ranger-Captain. She was high up the totem pole in Farstrider society but not ‘the leader’ She was indeed a Hero of Quel’thalas, something that Lor’themar Theron, who was at the time her Boss agrees on, but many Thalassians do not follow her, 1% of the original population do (Thats assuming High Elves as well as Void Elves recognise her as a leader figure)
Early days to state she is using it for Good, she -has- resisted it’s temptations thus far however, and no, her leadership was -earned- prior to going into the Dark Portal, That is the basis on which Lor’themar declares her a Hero of Quel’thalas.
I more see it as like the Council of Three Hammers, though even weirder. Make a normal Dwarf and you have three racial leaders, make a Dark iron and you have just one. It’s weird.
A sweeping statement, and here was me determined to use my powers only for good 
Shocker, “Person who mains an elf involves themselves in topics about Elves, this is an Outrage” Says low level classic Gnome player.
Also, I haven’t ‘Got my High Elf’. I have my Blood Elf, which I got way back in TBC thank you very much.
Are you new here? You must have missed the threads where I was supporting the idea of playable High Elves, and indeed coming up with ideas for how they could be customised, what starting zones they could have, racial leaders, racial abilities and so on?
It can’t possibly be that you just jumped in half way through a prolonged conversation and jumped to an assumption can it? I mean that would be crazy!
NEVAAAH! I hate the idea of playable Ogres, Give us Gnolls I say, Horde Gnolls! But seriously, yeah, I know a lot of Horde fans want Ogres, Gods knows why, so I’d support them on that, same as I supported High Elves. The Kul Tiran model re-skinned would indeed be the best start for that.
Lets be fair, that would have been the perfect, and logical time for them to have gave the Alliance playable High Elves, but they didn’t…No idea why.
It was purely down to them being released with the Outlands Zones in TBC, and they are stuck there. The Great Irony? TBC was the expansion that introduced Flying, and yet you can’t fly in those places, the only cities where you cannot!
Farstrider style warpaint and braids, feathers in the hair, Magisterial style runic tattoos, Scarring and clipped ears to represent being the survivors of a Zombie apocalypse, more beard options for males (I know we’re getting some, but I mean proper full on Anasterian style beards you could lose a cat in) -Actual- black hair, instead of the weird blue-black.

I like the “same destination, different paths” description. It’s quite fitting. With the upcoming new options for void elves, which have, to my knowledge, no lore or in-game reasoning accompanying them, I believe we’re looking at yet a third path, where blood elves and high elves are learning enough about the void to be able to embrace its power, without going through the physical (and maybe mental) alterations that the first “generation” of void elves did. Alleria consumed the essence of a dark naaru, Umbric and the first generation of void elves were changed because of interference and disturbing, the new generations become void elves by learning. That’s the most plausible explanation I can find at the moment. So, why would their hair change? Magical energies haven’t traditionally changed people’s hair before. At least not without also changing everything else. With Warcraft elves, we see eyes being the most susceptible to magical alterations. Then comes skin. In the case of fel, we then see new features appear, demonic in appearance. Only when Alleria is entering her void state, similar to void elves’ entropic embrace, but voluntary and controlled, does her hair change, and it changes back when she leaves the void state. Hair is one of the last features to be affected by magic alterations, such as the effects of the void.
There’s no lore friendly reason to gatekeep proper high/blood elven natural hair colours from void elves whose skintones are still natural.
The main reason for the new skintones, though, are probably not because of lore at all. Void elves will have access to the natural skin tones because of one thing, as art director Ely Cannon said: “This is another place where there was a race, High Elves, in the game which hadn’t really been represented on player characters.” The high elf request. This is why we’re getting access to the new features. The thing is, not one single high elf in the game, shares hair colours or styles with void elves. One can’t truly represent high elves on player characters without this feature. Well, the blood elves can, but blue eyes don’t make a blood elf a high elf. Having refused to use mana tap or to give one’s allegiance to the Horde, that’s what defines a high elf.
It’s a simple thing to add; all Blizzard has to do, is to decide what hairstyles should be shared between Alliance high elves and Horde blood elves, and port those styles together with the natural hair colours over to the void elf character options. Without it, high elves are still not represented on player characters.
Yes, please!
Which is why we are getting new skin, to represent the new generation of Void elves who learned it properly, and not by accident.
Actually Blood elves got proper black hair, check the Shadowlands customizations.
I wish a Proper black hair was given to void elves too, it’s the only reason why I won’t be using the blue skin… because it doesn’t look good with any of the hair colors we have. A black Would look amazing and edgy on the Void skin.
